Members/Shops in/near Wilmington, NC

Is there a BMWCCA member in or near Wilmington, NC, who might be willing to run by Schaeffer BMW to have a look at a car for me? I live in CT and am looking to buy an E46. I obviously have lots of options closer by, but an '03 330i at Schaeffer is high on my list. I'm already in contact with the dealer and don't mind buying from a distance if I can find out enough about the car from an independent observer. Not looking for some definitive assessment (that might come later) but for an informed first proxy look.

Second question (for the "later" part): anybody know of an independent shop in Wilmington that might be hired to do a pre-purchase inspection? A quick search at bimrs.org failed to turn anything up. Thanks to everyone who reads. --Steve
